Georgia and Florida State are calling off a home-and-home series scheduled for 2027 and 2028.

There was no longer room on their respective calendars after the Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference moved to nine-game league schedules.

The Seminoles and Bulldogs already are playing in-state, non-conference rivalry games against Florida and Georgia Tech, respectively, giving both teams 10 Power 4 opponents on their annual schedule.

They could still potentially meet in a neutral-site matchup. Florida State athletic director Michael Alford said he was “optimistic” about making such a deal, per ESPN.

Georgia is 7-4-1 against Florida State, including a 63-3 thumping in their most recent meeting in the Orange Bowl on Dec. 30, 2023.
